Find the area of a parallelogram.

Answer 1

area = base times height, but the trick is to calculate the height. take the tangent of the acute angle and multiply it times the base.

A=bh = (b)tan(theta)

A=(b)tan(theta)

tangent is height divided by base = h/b. b times h/b = h = height

Answer 2

The area of a parallelogram is length of base * height
